Our facial expressions say a lot about what we are feeling inside. Our emotions are very evident on the outside. Our face can tell others if we are happy, sad, timid, kind, demanding, dominant, intimated, curious, stressed, outraged, peaceful, serene, intimidated, threatened, mean, mad, stubborn, sweet, tenderhearted, innocent, evil, brokenhearted, cheerful, joyful, positive, happy, negative, anxious, friendly, sick, loving, friendly, bitter, upset, embarrassed, sympathetic, etc....
Remember the saying, "You're not fully dressed until you're dressed with a smile!" We need to make sure our outfit is complete with a smile! I have seen people dressed beautifully, well groomed, shiny shoes, hair done perfectly, teeth straightened and bleached, make up perfect, YET they are frowning and miserable. I want to go up and tell them to complete their look with a SMILE! I know of a little three year old boy who always asks his mom if she is happy with him. Our children pick up on our non-verbal cues more than anyone. Sometimes you have to smile though your heart is breaking (like the song says). I challenge YOU to be more conscious of what your face is telling others. Try to smile more often. Who knows, maybe you'll look happy and then you'll start to feel happy and maybe others will find you more happy and approachable.
